30-DEN West Yorks: Bingley. Researcher: Dennis <lankyladd@shaw.ca>
  & East Lancs: Location: Rocky Mountains
  Burnley, Briercliffe Submitted: Oct 2005/Updated Nov 2005/Request for Help July 2006
    My Smith Family connection:
    Mearcy (note the "A") SMITH : born c1791/92 Bingley, Yorkshire
    married Shackelton Thornber (Chr. 15 Oct 1797 Burnley)
    m: 19 May 1817 Burnley & showing - both of this parish.
    Mearcy's next appearance was the 1841 census age 50 not born in county.
    Shackelton was not in the entry but their three children were;
    Robert (20), Margaret (20) and William (15).
    Margaret married my ancester John WHITEHEAD.
     
    1861 Census - Burnley Lane, Burnley
    Mearcy Smith, age 69,
    (indicating birth year c1791/2)
    birthplace: Bingley, Yorkshire
     
    The next information I have on Mearcy is an MI in the graveyard of the Haggate-Mill Lane Baptist Church in Briercliffe, showing, Mercy (no "A")
    wife of Shackleton Thornber, May 4 1864 aged 74 yrs.
     
    That is about all I have for Mearcy, hope it is of some use to someone, somewhere, somehow.
     
    July 2006: Request For Help
    I would appreciate SKS with access to Bingley Parish Records 1790-92 looking up:
    Birth/Baptism of Mearcy (Mercy) Smith. Thx. Dennis
    ________________________________________________
  Middleton, Lancs.  
    Other Smith info I found:
    I went looking in some twenty year old files and came across the information.
    I have a photocopy of a Certificate of Marriage dated 24 July 1909
    between Henry Ogden (31) and Lucy Smith (27)
    at Holy Church in the Parish of Parkfield in Middleton, County of Lancaster.
    Lucy is described as "Widow", father William Whitehead.
    I have no idea who her late husband was, except that his last name must have been SMITH.
    As Lucy did not appear to fit into my Whitehead family I did not pursue the matter. There is considerable other info on the paper but nothing that would indicate who her late husband was
